Hello you!

 

It’s Christmas time. The time to spread good cheer and shower people with gifts… and here is my gift to you!

I’m offering up a high-res, full colour commission WITH background to one lucky person. The only caveat is that it has to be of an original comic character of YOUR creation. You may do what you wish with the image (use for promo, print, sell, etc.) , just pop me a credit when you use it.

Here is a selection of pin-ups I’ve done previously to whet your appetite.

On Monday the 12th of December, I shall post a poll of all the characters entered into the 1st round and will draw the commission the of character with the most votes.

Voting will end on FRIDAY THE 16TH OF DECEMBER at 12:00 GMT.

I look forward to seeing your entries!

VANGUARD issue 12 – Thumbnails to Finals

Hello!

As part of the process of making VANGUARD, once the script is pretty much done, I move onto making small sketches of the page layouts. These are often called thumbnail sketches within the comicbook industry.

(Click pic to view larger version)

As you can see, I’m pretty faithfully to most of them, but will mix things up if it doesn’t look great on the page.

I’m trying to push my layout skills and make pages more dramatic. Will try to make even more of this in issue 13, which starts in January.
